'Spend your money with the people and the communities who really, truly need it.'
"Given it’s not safe to travel to fire-affected communities just yet, this is a way to support businesses," says Pitt."As much as we want to support all businesses in fire-affected towns, we can’t yet encourage visitation to these areas. So, online and phone ordering options are best for us to promote for now."
"The reality is, these towns and communities are going to need our help long after the initial threat is over," says Pitt."Many of these communities rely on the tourism dollar to survive and this should be the busiest time of the year — the time to make the money that will see them through the rest of the year."
If you’re a business in a fire-affected community and want to be featured, Turia Pitt says can reach out to them at spendwiththem@gmail.com.
